Connection fee due to alarm call ?

bébétel®/EasyAlarm® only start a call in case an alarm condition is detected. The connection fee
is depending on different factors: called alarm number (local call/distance call/mobile call etc.),
connection time or if it calls on a working day or weekend. If the number of the calling party is
displayed, you can decide to answer the call or just to reject the call (to reduce the connection fee).
Pay attention to not divert rejected calls to an answer-ingmachine.

Calling number display
If the alarm goes to a mobile phone or an ISDN-telephone the number of the calling party is displayed.
You can decide to answer or to disconnect the call .

Note:
In some countries (e.g. Germany) you must enable the calling number identification (please
contact your operating company).

Connect to ISDN ?
   

bébétel®/EasyAlarm® is designed to connect to the analogue telephone line.

Note:
We recommend to select a special subscriber number (MSN) for the bébétel®/EasyAlarm® -port
different from you main-number.

NT1+2ab-terminal (Switzerland)
If you use bébétel®/EasyAlarm® in combination the ISDN-network-terminator NT1+2ab (Network-
Terminator) you must connect the alarm unit to one of the analogue ports (a/b1) or (a/b2).

                  NT1+2ab

ISDN-private exchange
Connect bébétel®/EasyAlarm® to one of the analogue ports of your private exchange. If your
private exchange does not support an analogue port you probably can connect it to an analogue
port of your ISDN-terminal equipment (modem, telephone) or you have to buy an interface
converter (So<->a/b)

Plug-connection: FCC-Connection
Please refer the type-label on the back-side of your unit. With the type-label you will find the
correct plug-connection.

Use in combination with an answering machine ?
   

EasyAlarm®:
Select the number of ringing-cycles of the answering machine higher than EasyAlarm®
(e.g. 4 ringing-cycles)

Note:
EasyAlarm® is programmed to a two-step dial-in. An incoming call will only answered after
an aborted call (let it ring 2-times, disconnect, wait 20 seconds, dial again) and the number of
programmed ringing-cycles (default=2).

bébétel®:
The factory-setting is: the monitor answers a call after two ringing cycles. The caller has 15
seconds time to enter the PIN-code. When the PIN-code is wrong or the PIN-code is not
entered within this period the monitor automatically disconnects.

If you want to use the monitor together with an answering machine you have to adapt ringing
cycles of both units (monitor an answering machine). How to program ringing cycles for monitor
see use instruction, for answering machine please consult user guide of this unit. If you
adapted both units for the same ringing cycles, you can dial in and enter PIN-Code within 15
seconds to monitor the room. A caller who does not enter PIN-Code within 15 seconds will only
hear the spoken message of your answering machine and will not know that the monitor has
automatically disconnected due to PIN-code time-out. To avoid this problem we advise to pro-
gram a shorter ringing cycle for the monitor by a difference of at least 3 ringing cycles.

n Comment
0 bébétel®/EasyAlarm® is in pulse-dialling mode
1 bébétel®/EasyAlarm® is in tone-dialling mode (factory setting)

Insert dialling-delay:
A dialling delay is sometimes necessary if you are connected to a private exchange (e.g. hotel) to
make sore that the private exchange does not miss one of the digits of the alarm number.
Program your alarm number as follows:

First digit (to get external line) + Raute + calling-number

Flash-pulse (R/F):
If you’re private exchange needs a flash-pulse to start connection, you have to program the alarm-
number as follows:

2 + Raute + calling-number

Monitoring two rooms ?

Because bébétel® and EasyAlarm® are very sensitive on position HIGH (III) it is possible to supervise
two rooms next to each other. You can place the alarm-unit between the two rooms, letting the doors
open! Please check sensitivity by doing some noise activities.

If the two rooms are not close enough you can always use two bébétel®/EasyAlarm® in parallel.

instruments on the market. = > Test winner in OEKOTEST (May/June 2000).
